Chapter 154: Apprenticeship

Strange personal names.

Qian Lao frowned, and didn't remember who Jun Ju'an was for a while.

He thought about it carefully, and suddenly recalled that the Baihui Pavilion had caused a fatality, and it seemed that it was this scholar named Jun Ju'an who took the lead in clearing the suspicion of the Baihui Pavilion.

Qian Lao suddenly realized, and at the end, he looked up at Steward Qian again, and asked puzzledly: "He has never had anything to do with the Qian family, what did he do when he suddenly gave gifts?" ”

Steward Qian shook his head, and had the same doubts in his heart: "Listening to what the porter said, the person who gave the gift only said that it was a gift that should be received by our house." ”

As for the reason for the receipt, there is no mention of it.

Hearing their discussion, seeing that the two of them couldn't figure it out, they had doubts in their hearts, and some people were embarrassed that they didn't know whether this gift should be accepted or not, Zhao Yueqiu smiled in her eyes, and opened her mouth before Qian Lao refused.

"Take it."

Qian Lao looked at it when he heard it, and he happened to meet Zhao Yueqiu's beautiful eyes.

"Didn't Qian Lao say that the prince didn't say anything? The gift outside the door is her expression, can Qian Lao rest assured? ”

"The love of the Qian family is remembered by the East Palace."

The hall was unusually quiet, and Steward Qian looked left and right, and noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, so he subconsciously lowered his breathing.

Qian Lao was silent, and his eyes were even darker.

He is a human spirit who has lived for half his life, and has been crawling and rolling in various conspiracies and tricks for many years, and he thinks that he has a pair of fiery eyes and can distinguish all kinds of demons and monsters, and no one in the world can deceive him.

But now the reality slapped him hard, telling him that there are mountains outside the mountains and people outside the people.

Zhao Yueqiu looked at Shangqian Laodong like a fire, calmly.

"Take it." After finishing speaking, Qian Lao paused slightly.

He took a sip of tea, frowned slightly, and asked thoughtfully: "Then Jun Ju'an, is it a person from the East Palace, or a ...... from the East Palace?"

Speaking of this, Qian Lao's voice stopped abruptly.

He suddenly remembered that he had seen the young man, with a full body and a warm aura, and he did not look like a descendant of a barbaric family.

"It seems that Qian Lao already knows." She stretched out her hand, pulled the fallen broken hair back behind her ear, and said with a light smile: "Don't blame Qian Lao, the identity of the East Palace is special, and it is common for the things to be secretive." ”

The East Palace is indeed secretive.

With the methods of his Qian family, he had not even found out the connection between Jun Ju'an and the East Palace before this, let alone knew that Jun Ju'an was the East Palace.

Speaking of which, they can only blame themselves for not being able to find out, and they can't blame others for concealing it.

Qian Lao sneered, but he was not an unreasonable person, and when he heard this, he said: "Parkway Pavilion was originally opened for students all over the world, although the East Palace did not officially participate in the scientific examination and seek fame, but she is a Taifu student, and the way of the king she has learned is not a violation of the rules of Parkway Pavilion." ”

Since he didn't break the rules he set, what was he to blame?

Zhao Yueqiu smiled, a high hat was buttoned in an instant, and said with respect: "The former old man is really broad-minded, very within the reach of others, and the younger generation admires him." ”

She said this sincerely, even Qian Lao couldn't figure out whether it was true or not, and only said with a slight dissatisfaction: "Today's event has already been planned by you and Donggong, one after the other, but I am a person with a small belly." ”

"Nope." Zhao Yueqiu shook her head lightly, lowered her eyes and explained truthfully: "Since returning to Beijing, the younger generation has no contact with the East Palace. ”

Since the heart-to-heart talk that day, Zhao Yueqiu clearly knew that her warm emotions and wishful thinking would not be responded to in a short time.

It's sad to say that the person in her heart is a veritable hero, who cares about all the people in the world, but she is the only one missing.

As she spoke, Zhao Yueqiu couldn't help but feel a touch of loss between her eyebrows.

Seeing this, Old Man Qian noticed that something was wrong, and his expression was slightly paused.

He had no intention of interfering in the love and hatred of his juniors, so he bypassed the topic in a twist.

"Come on, old man, I've lived most of my life, and I haven't seen anything? I can tell at a glance whether what you said is true or false, Ming people don't say secret words, I accepted the thanks of you and the East Palace, and if you have nothing to do, please leave. ”

When the words fell, it was an eviction order.

For these aristocratic children who grew up in the quagmire-like backyard of the boudoir, Qian Lao thought that he couldn't handle it, so it was better to stay away from it earlier, so as not to get into trouble.

Helping Donggong was already an unexpected decision for him, and there was nothing else.

Hearing Qian Lao's intention to drive people away, Zhao Yueqiu didn't plan to leave easily, it was one thing to come here today to express her gratitude, but she had another more important thing to do.

Steward Qian made a gesture to send off the guests, but Zhao Yueqiu did not cooperate, just sat there leisurely and leisurely to drink tea and eat snacks.

In desperation, he had no choice but to withdraw his hand stupidly, looked at Qian Lao with an embarrassed face, and cast a look at Qian Lao for help.

He has never encountered a situation where a guest is forced to stay, and he really doesn't know how to deal with it at this time, after all, she is a delicate girl, so she can't be hard, right?

The corners of Qian Lao's mouth twitched, and after calming down for a while, he couldn't sit still anymore.

- For the elderly who have lived most of their lives in the world, have half of their bodies in the ground, and do not have much time to enjoy, every minute and second is particularly precious, and it is really more difficult for him to sit in a place for a long time in a daze than to be tortured.

If there was a sudden storm, he could still calmly command the people in the palace to deal with it.

It's just that people are soft and rigid, do things quietly, and look patient.

is more patient than Qian Lao, but Zhao Yueqiu is no better.

In desperation, the enemy does not move, he moves.

"Is there anything else Miss Zhao is up to?"

Zhao Yueqiu put down the teacup, and her heart floated: "Yes, there is a very important matter that needs the help of Old Lady Qian." ”

"The Qian family is weak, except that the money is more abundant than in other people's homes, I'm afraid there is nothing that can be put on the table, and maybe it won't help Miss Zhao." Qian Lao's eyebrows sank slightly, he couldn't see his joy and anger, he was over half a hundred years old, but there was no cloudiness in his eyes.

His eyes can see through people's hearts.

He looked at Zhao Yueqiu's eyebrows, and he already had a bad premonition in his heart, thinking of her resolute move to take over the Zhao family, and vaguely predicting what she would say next.

Just wanted to stop her words, but Qian Lao took a step slowly.

I saw that the woman who was sitting leisurely and elegantly suddenly flicked her sleeves slightly, revealing the delicate peony cut at the cuffs, her hands were folded on her waist, her slender figure was low, and her long hair like a waterfall fell down her shoulders.

Under Qian Lao's stunned gaze, his forehead lightly touched the ground and bowed to him.

"The younger generation wants to worship Qian Lao as a teacher and learn the way of the Qian family in business."

A gust of wind blew through the hall, and the ashes of the incense candles dedicated to the God of Wealth fell.

Looking at it again, the corners of the God of Wealth's mouth turned up slightly, as if he was smiling.

Looking at the little girl kneeling on the ground in front of him, Qian Lao's face gradually became solemn, his expression was dark, and his gaze was fixed on Zhao Yueqiu.

Steward Qian was shocked by this sudden scene, and even Qingmiao, who came with him, didn't expect his girl to suddenly make such a scene, and stood there in a daze and couldn't react.

Qian Lao pondered for a long time, and the corners of his lips moved.

"Little Miss Zhao, no, Shinong Industry and Commerce, business is the last, everyone who is contaminated with this word is covered in the smell of copper. Don't look at the Qian family's unusual wealth, but these are all vain, the people above will move their little hands casually, and the Qian family will hurt their muscles and bones. ”

If you can earn the silver but can't keep the silver, and you can fight the country but can't keep the country, it means the same thing.

It is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country.

In order to keep the whole family standing for decades, no one knows how hard he has worked in secret.

Zhao Yueqiu raised her head and looked at Qian Lao fixedly: "Are you unwilling to accept this apprentice from the junior?" ”

For one of her tendons, Qian Lao pursed his lips in some embarrassment, and persuaded bitterly: "It's not a question of whether you are willing or not, doing business is completely different from you being in charge of housework, you only need to guard the one acre and three points of land here to take charge of housework, and doing business is to deal with people outside, there are three religions and nine streams, and you are really not suitable for a girl's family." ”

A deep girl, after all, she has to marry a wife.

Nothing is more important to them than fame.

But people who can do business often deal with all kinds of people from the outside world, including men and women, where can they get a good reputation?

In addition, Zhao Yueqiu has a special identity and has a father who is the prime minister, if she enters the business road, most nobles in Beijing will point to the backbone of the Zhao family and point at that time.

Gossip can crush everything.

Zhao Yueqiu was very calm, nodded when she heard this, but said stubbornly: "I want to learn the way of doing business from you, it's not a whim, it's not an irrational decision made by a headache and brain fever, I have thought about what you said, I'm not afraid." ”

"As for what you said about getting married, it won't happen in the next few years, at least, and I don't need to care about reputation."

After listening to what she said, and seeing her look like she was swearing not to marry, Qian Lao rubbed the corners of his forehead with a headache, and changed from bitter to indifferent and ruthless.

"My Qian family has a big business, and the heirs are even more luxuriant, and I don't have to worry about business at all, no one inherits it, I give up my own family and don't teach, why should I accept you as an apprentice from an outsider? If this spreads, it will be ridiculous! ”

A deep voice resounded in the hall.

For a little girl, what Qian Lao said was really unpleasant.

For fear of hitting the little girl too hard, Steward Qian secretly pulled Qian Lao's sleeve and quietly gave him a look, asking him to stop in moderation.

Don't say anything else, let's just talk about the identity of this girl, she has a prime minister as a father, and they still have to give some face.

If not, the prime minister waved his sleeves at will, and their Qian family could cause a lot of trouble.

Qian Lao coughed lightly, and also realized that his tone was too strong, so he suppressed the coldness in his eyebrows and eyes, and stared at Zhao Yueqiu with a faint eye.

On the other side, the kneeling man did not move.

Zhao Yueqiu's head hung down, as if she was seriously thinking about Qian Lao's question.

After a long while, she finally raised her head, her eyes were clear, without the slightest tactful detour, and said sonorously: "Because they are not as bold as me!" ”
